1st sketch - [audio]

--nder what this does... hey, is this recording? Woah, this is a journal that can record things? Even if I don't know what the heck is going on, that is so cool! So, um, can anyone tell me why I woke up with no shirt on? It... it's a little embarrassing, and I feel really exposed--hey, I have wings! What the...?! People don't really wake up with

So this is how you play back audio on the journal system. And what a post to come across... Sounds like another of the Malnosso's victims just woke up.]

Oh ho ho! You're not the only one in a rush to get back to your home, you know.

[Hopefully that reply got through. This computer isn't like one Eggman generally uses.]

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Splendid! My name is Doctor Eggman! And, er, what was your name again?

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

My name's Jeb. It's nice to meet you!

Oh, you're a doctor?

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Oh ho ho! I'm a scientist, boy! The most renowned of my time!

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

Wow, that's awesome! You must be really respected!

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

[Respected? Not unless by respected you actually mean feared worldwide.]

Err... Well, actually not as much as I'd have liked.

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

Really? Is it okay if I ask why not?

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Because those idiots don't know true genius when they see it! And of course, all of my plans to make the world realise my magnificence are foiled by that blasted hedgehog-

But, erm, ahem.

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

...so you just haven't been able to prove it to everyone else?

[Jeb's not sure what a hedgehog has to do with anything, but it doesn't seem fair that no one notices that the Doctor is smart.]

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

No, not yet. And I was just about to secure my place in history as the world's greatest scientist when those accursed Malnosso took me!

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

I'm sorry to hear that! That's pretty terrible.

...the Malnosso?

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Our captors! I thought someone had filled you in on all this already!

They're a bunch of so-called scientists, experimenting on us for who knows what reason! Or so I've gathered in the last few hours, anyway.

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

That doesn't sound good...

[Understatement. SUCH an understatement.]

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Ho ho ho! Seems like you need to read this Guide everyone talks about. It'll fill you in on all the basic horrors you might expect here - if it can be believed, that is. Still doesn't say anything that useful though.

[Voice]

[sketchingideals]

Oh, right! The guide! I guess I should look at that...

[Voice]

[notshadowfever]

Well, I wouldn't normally do this, but I'll direct you to it. Hmm, let's see. [Eggman fumbles about a bit in his journal, which he's not used to using yet, and produces a link to the guide for Jeb.] There. That should cover the basics. Nothing about how to destroy those fools, though!
